Atlas Copco Comptec LLC broke ground on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, on its 63,000-square-foot expansion of its manufacturing facility in Voorheesville, NY, boosting its manufacturing space to support the production of large integrally geared centrifugal compressors. The expansion is expected to be completed before the end of 2026.
The NY-based, 45-acre manufacturing facility serves several markets, including oil and gas, offshore projects, carbon capture and sequestration, hydrogen mobility, energy storage, heat pumps, decarbonization, and air separation. The expansion is to better serve these markets and provide custom fits to meet the needs of producing large, highly engineered products. New equipment includes:
Oglethorpe Power is building a new natural gas plant in Monroe County to help support Georgia’s electricity demand, and it selected GE Vernova’s 7HA.03 combined-cycle technology.
Annalisa Bloodworth, Oglethorpe Power’s President and CEO Annalisa Bloodworth explained that GE Vernova’s technology will boost performance and efficiency and reduce emissions. “We are proud to secure the technology for this critical energy project at a time when utilities across the globe are seeking solutions to meet rapidly growing energy demand,” Bloodworth said. “Once operational, this facility is expected to generate more than 1,400 MW of reliable energy for our members and the Georgia communities they serve.”
Per the agreement, GE Vernova will supply:
GE Vernova will also provide a 20-year long-term service agreement that includes all services and parts for the HA gas turbines, steam turbines, and associated generators.
After completing the permitting process for the Monroe County combined-cycle project, Oglethorpe Power plans to begin onsite work as early as Fall 2025 and break ground shortly thereafter. Commercial operations are expected to start in 2029.
